“We get paid very highly for what we do, and, from my perspective, when I have not been feeling great at the end of a race I just train harder grabpay

I want it to be extreme grabpay
I want to feel the difference grabpay
I want to feel pain in my body grabpay
That’s what this is about grabpay
We have got to be careful with the changes we make grabpay
It’s like, ‘let’s not get too soft’ grabpay

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence grabpay
Then, the crack in his voice grabpay
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health grabpay
That is, until now grabpay
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior grabpay
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little grabpay
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable grabpay
But soon may be too soon grabpay
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago grabpay
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi grabpay
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began grabpay
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that grabpay
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes grabpay
grabpay
grabpay
Sorry, um grabpay
grabpay
grabpay
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it grabpay
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp grabpay
grabpay
grabpay
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room grabpay

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up grabpay
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it grabpay
I had to take it grabpay
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be grabpay
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in grabpay
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family grabpay

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training grabpay
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer grabpay
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight grabpay
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession grabpay
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted grabpay
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable grabpay
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring grabpay
It must grabpay
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January grabpay
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him grabpay
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave grabpay
That is even clearer now than it was last week grabpay
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it grabpay
